June 5, 6, and 7, 2020
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Staff:
The District is aware that Board of Education Election and Budget Vote ballot delivery has not been timely in some areas of the city. In order to provide residents the opportunity to deliver their ballots in person, Central Office (630 66th Street, 14304) will be OPEN Saturday and Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Monday 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. for vote/election matters only.
Any resident who has not received his or her ballot after the June 5, 2020 mail delivery can call (716) 286-4204 or (716) 425-2966 to be issued a replacement ballot specific to that individual. Your vote matters. Please, I encourage you to deliver your ballot, which must be received by 5:00 p.m. on June 9, 2020.
FAQ:
- Can I bring my neighbors' ballots? Be sure voters sign the back of the oath envelope.
- I lost my ballot/the dog ate my ballot/ the kids ripped my ballot up: Call the numbers above to get a replacement ballot.
- The humidity in my mailbox sealed my oath envelope before I put my ballot inside: Call the numbers above to get a replacement ballot.
- I am angry that I got my ballot so late: Please accept our apologies and tell us how we can help.
Let’s keep up the fantastic work we have been doing to keep ourselves and others safe and healthy. Remember: frequent hand washing, social distancing, wearing face coverings, using hand sanitizer, etc. I repeat this information each day for a reason: these are the only methods at this time that will help us combat COVID-19 until there is a vaccine. Stay safe and don’t let up on all of the aforementioned guidelines and remember to vote – turn in your ballot; your vote counts and is very important.
